If I Fell Today Lyrics

I'm on the bleeding edge of the western world

In the middle of a story that I've left untold

Until not very long ago

I sat cold in the summer on a couch with my mother

And death was hanging heavy in the room

But Jesus making all things new walked right out of a tomb

And sat by my side sharing the grief wiping the tears from my eyes

To remind how I came alive as a kid with eyes so wide

I knew all that I needed to decide to let my little light shine

But rung after rung on this ladder I climb under threats of violence

Left my inner child to die in silence

I'm reminded

If I fell today here's what I'd regret if I didn't say

Death won't have the final laugh

This city's been painted gray in ash

While I'm here in the hall of smoke and mirrors

I need eyes to see I need ears to hear

And someday when my body fades

Why would I wanna keep what I can give away

Jesus called me by a new name and in Jesus name I will remain

I'm on the bleeding edge of a hiding place

This hole in my heart is caving in

I'm crawling in the dark I must admit

I've played the tired part the spoiled kid

I've wandered so far too close to the sun

Of course I've been blind and on my own

I can only see behind

But He came like a father and called me home

With smiling eyes and open arms

He came like a surgeon to cut ties with fake friends and factory farms

And set me free into the truest freedom

Scary freedom joyful freedom

To sing with abandon how much I need Him

He took me by the hand for a walk to Eden

Like history repeating, all this open bleeding

Is for a season I'm believing

Since you came into my life

Every part of me made real

Truth came to the light

I know that you can heal

Now I understand what love was meant to be

And if I fell today here's what I'd regret if I didn't say

Death won't have the final laugh

This city's been painted gray in ash

While I'm here in the hall of smoke and mirrors

I need eyes to see and ears to hear

And someday when my body fades why would I wanna keep what I can give away

And if I fell today here's what I'd regret if I didn't say

Death won't have the final laugh

This city's been painted gray in ash

While I'm here in the hall of smoke and mirrors

I need eyes to see and ears to hear

And someday when my body fades why would I wanna keep what I can give away

Jesus called me by a new name and in Jesus name I will remain

Let my story be a song for the glory that belongs to your name
